Get to know the webpage of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter in the beautiful land of New Spain, lovely Mexico. It is hard to believe how much the FSSP has accomplished in Mexico in so relatively short a time. Congratulations also to Fr. Fryar and Fr. Romanoski, of course, under the firm leadership of H.E. Cardinal Sandoval Íñigüez, now emeritus, who invited the FSSP into his Archdiocese of Guadalajara, Jalisco, and his successor, H.E. Cardinal Robles Ortega.

Latin America is where the Extraordinary Form Mass is least available on a per capita basis. This is by design of liberation theologians. So bravo FSSP!

Fr. Fryar of Guadalajara is the brother of Fr. James Fryar of Sarasota Florida, the famous inventor of the free iMass app that allows one to follow the TLM on your iPad or iPhone. Thank you Mrs. Fryar for giving the Church these two outstanding priests from down under (Australia).

The Guadalajaran FSSP apostles offered a mass some time ago at a tiny beachfront chapel in Playa del Carmen, Yucatan, which I visited. It was wonderful for me to realize that we are evangelizing in places Tourists such as me are aware of.

I do pray that our Pope keeps Summorum Pontificum as the law of the Church. It would be sad to be forced to return to the catacombs.

Hats off to my dear friend Mr. Israel Aguilar who designed and created the new FSSP Mexico website. We are blessed to have two excellent priests that work tirelessly to make the traditional mass available and teach us the unadulterated faith with their example and words. We will continue to add content to it both about the apostolate here in Mexico and also material to help other spanish language Traditional groups. Make sure also to stop by the Youtube channel and our social media sites with Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest!

The Frs Fryar are from Campbelltown, Sydney Australia, educated at St Gregory's. Australia's loss is the gain of the FSSP in Florida and Mexico. I hope one day they can visit their homeland and work there.

The Church of the 1570's was at the apex of doctrinal and liturgical power. The crisis that threatened to destroy Western Civilization back then was the expansion of Islam. It took all of Christendom praying the Rosary at the behest of a Saintly Pope to win the day.

In fact Fr. Fryar was born in Texas and moved to Australia as a kid :-)

But yes they are tireless priests caring of souls giving all their available time. I had the pleasure to have a vocational experience with them last year for some weeks and the rythm of work is hallucinating.

Fr. Fryar is up at 4:30AM everyday to open the church early and only returns home after 10PM (after closing the church - there is mass at 8PM then sometimes communion/confirmation/marriage preparation classes after that). No single day off. Plus twice a month a trip to Mexico City to say mass there. And inside the church he's never bored or idle, always doing something all day long. Whomever meets him first sight or impression thinks he's a robot because he never gets tired :-)

Fr. Romanoski takes care of the doctrinal apostolate as you can see on his recordings to YouTube and MariaVision TV and is equally busy, always finding something extra to do like extra classes besides the almost daily classes and meetings with the different sodalities that meet in the parish or in the parochial house.
